Passion fruit

by Miza-T @ 2007-05-11 - 20:52:09

How do I start...
This morning I was told my classes will not be running next year. Funding issues, you see...I teach adults mainly, and the government is cutting down on adult education. Focus now is 16 - 19 year old. I only have one class at this age, which I was covering because a colleague had cancer (he's back, thank God).
To make a long story short, I will be unemployed in less than two months.
Great,after 5 years giving my best...I'm still in shock and don't know what to think or say ...:**:...
So I decided to make myself a special cocktail, a recipe I learned with my brasilian friends, and that brings me good memories.
If you want to give it a go, believe me, you will not regret it:yes:

"Batidinha"

1 cup of vodka ( or cachaca if you find it )
2 cups of fruit pulp ( I like passion fruit, but it's possible with pineapple or strawberries)
2 cups of crushed ice
1 can of condensed milk

Shake it very very well ( I use the blender)

I'm already on half of the bootle ( I put it inside a 2 litres empty plastic bootle)

Oh, by the way if any of you know of a god job, please tell me something.

:wave:

Apparently there is a vacancy coming up soon in London, quite a senior position but don't worry the outgoing employee was not a lot of cop!

Have a hug and a smile :DD

Thanks for the support Mara. I know I will, but I'm a taurean, you see, we are not very keen on changes. I'll have to dedicate more time to my paintings and try to sell them...at least during the summer :-)

Oh No Mirza! Oh my God I am so sorry! You will find another job though I am sure. I will look out for you but we are in London so that is not much use, but if I hear of anything I will let you know.

We do have cahcaca but usually just drink it with ice and lime and sugar. We will try your recipe.

Extra big hug.

It's okay, Mrs F, I'm fine. I will find another job, I'm just having mixed feelings, because apart from all the moaning and that, I love my job, and I love mature students. They are studying because they want to, not because they have to.

I forgot to mention , you have to SHAKE or BLEND the drink!! :-)

Yeah Lecturing is a small part of my job (big part of my marriage _ Joke ;) ). I prefer to lecture to older people too. I do not want to teach compulsory subjects to any one I like to teach to people who want to know about the subject.

Yeah, it was a challenge having this particular group of 16's, because half of them are there only to get the EMA, and because they didn't have grades to go on a different course. That means the other half, the students who like the subject and know what they want to do, don't get the attention they deserve. But I did definitely learn something.

BUMHOLES!

Basically.

Excuse the lack of class, but one has been imbibing various glasses of stuff for a few hours and playing guitar, so have only just caught up with this post.

I hope you find another job (if you want to) teaching art soon. I always loved art at school which is probably why I went on to study "graphics" at college when I left.

All of which rubbish is of no help to you but...

Oh sod it,

Have a big virtual hug from me.

Thanks for the hug Nick.
Yes, funding (or lack of it) is the word these days.I will find a job, eventually...and if not, well, if you go to Cornwall and see a sexy lady painting and selling paintings in the beach...that will probabbly be me...ha ha ha

Or maybe I should "rethink" the location...too many astists in Cornwall already...what do you think? :-)

;)

(Oh jeeezus! I just flirted with Mons mum! she will kill me!)

Bom dia x Sorry about the crappy news Miza. That sucks. You will be ok though, and you obviously know this which is great. I too am on the look out for good work. I'll look for both of us now!

ps what do you paint? Im really interested in seeing something if you can put anything on here?

I am very sorry about you losing your job. It is unnerving to say the least. I wish you well in finding a new one.

Mon tells me you have family in Toronto which is 45 minutes away from where I live. You will mostly certainly have to come to my house for dinner and to see the flower I have planted in your honor.

Have a great day

Yes, we have! 2 aunties+uncles and 6 cousins! Oh I will be very honoured to meet "Maria" personally :)
Thanks for the invitation, it may happen one day, you know?
xx

That sucks!!

Sorry that you had such bad news, dear! But you're good, I'll bet anything that you're most popular among your students - and you'll be even greater in a new job!

Don't give up, continue to look for an alternative - and who knows, maybe you'll soon become the best female painter in the universe, and we all can say that we've known you (somewhat)! *LOL*

{{{big hugs}}}
